FOund this while looking for something else. Just thought it was funny as I remembered this thread.

From the infamous Buffalo meltdown 3 years back....obviously we had a problem with the electronics way back then.

Inbounds pass is kicked and shot clock horn goes off at 19:23. Shot clock reset to 15 after the kick, Buffalo sinks a 3 and they're off and running. Can someone explain how 37 seconds can expire on a 35-second shot clock? (Side note: That was the least of our problems in the second half today, but still, it's nice to see an oblivious MAC officiating crew carrying on Jerry Sauder's legacy.) If there is a kicked ball with less than 15 sec on the shot clock, the shot clock is reset to 15 sec. Over 15 sec there are no time changes. That wasn't the problem. If you have a 35-second shot clock that starts at 20:00, the shot clock should expire at 19:25. If it was stopped with the horn going off at 19:23, that means somebody started the shot clock at least a second late. The kicked ball should've never happened because if the clock was operated properly, the shot clock would've expired before the kick sequence even happened. Bad work by the clock operator, bad work by the officials to not clean up an easily identifiable mistake.
